Description diesch 2014-06-29 11:25:59 UTC 
When trying to configure pycairo for Python3 'waf configure' fails if /usr/bin/python is a Python2 binary.

For compatibility with PEP-394 waf should first look for /usr/bin/python3 or another `python3` binary.

Since 1.11 pycairo uses distutils for building. There is a good chance that
this bug no longer occurs with the new system. If there are still problems
please file a bug: https://github.com/pygobject/pycairo/issues
